After 18 months, I remain very pleased with these shoes. I use them every day. I have probably walked about 1000 miles in them, about half on unsaved trails and half on pavement. They are comfortable, still look good, and the heels and soles show almost no wear. They are still waterproof. We’ve had rain for the last three days. I wore these shoes every day. The outsides looked soaked. But my feet were absolutely dry. The only problem I’ve had was that the arch support in the insole irritated my arches. So I replaced them and have been fine ever since. These are great shoes. I’ll buy them again if these ever wear out.

2/28/2022. My main concern when I bought these shoes was finding a pair that fits well. My feet are hard to fit. I have a bunion on my left great toe but not on my right. So I need a wider shoe on the left. And I wanted a waterproof shoe. I tried a pair of Merrills, but they were too narrow on my left foot. Next I tried a pair of Altra Lone Peaks. I wear size 10.5 in dress shoes and I tried an 11 in the Altras. The shoes were wide enough but my toes hit the front of the shoe—too short. So I tried an 11.5, but they were huge. Then I tried these Oboz Sawtooth II B-Dri in size 11. Perfect. Comfortably wide for my left foot, the one with the bunion. But also perfect width for the right foot. I was also surprised at how comfortable the shoes are to walk in right out of the box. Some of the reviews talk about needing a break-in period. I did not find that. These are as comfortable as running shoes or Allbirds.

So far, I’ve only used these on paved surfaces and some icy roads. Traction seems good. I can’t comment yet on rough surfaces. But you can tell these are built like hiking boots. I’m sure they will be excellent on rocks and rough terrain.

I am very pleased.

Well made, durable, good arch support. I like this brand.

I was hiking in Merrill boots that were at least 10 years old and seem to have no traction. While everyone I hiked with was easily walking through the ice, loose rocks, and on the slickrock (I live in the mountains), I had to pick my way through or I would slip. I've completed three hikes so far in these boots and it's like night and day. No slipping on every little thing and great traction on the slickrock. I am a woman, but I have a large wide foot so I bought a men's wide boot. They fit perfectly and didn't need any breaking it. They are very comfortable and I've also worn them around town on errands. I'm older and not as sure-footed as I once was. So far these boots have increased my confidence on the rough terrain and it's so nice to not constantly feel like I'm going to slip and fall.

This is my second pair of these shoes. They hold up well, break in nicely, are comfortable, and water resistant. Good tread and support.

These are great do someone who is looking for comfort and support while hiking or for everyday. Quality and materials are excellent.

I’m a fan of these. Third pair of similar Oboz. Tough durable and comfortable.

I switched over from Merrell because I needed more support on the sole. These shoes are rugged and offer all the support I need. The standard size is too narrow for me, which is odd because I don't require wide sizes in many other shoes. The Wide version in this Oboz is hard to find but I was able to locate a pair on Amazon. With a slim sock I have a little side movement but with a thicker sock it fits fine. The regular width was just too tight in the toe box and I had to return it. Note: This is not a light boot like Merrell but the support is far better. Break in hike was 6 miles on varied terrain and surfaces: sandy, loose gravelly rock, loose softball size rock, slick rock surfaces. Steep uphill and downhill. So far so good!

Pleased with this purchase. Good support, good traction, nice looking. Only complaint is that the shoelaces don't stay tied. I'll replace them with ones that do.

Generally finding shoes is a bit of an adventure for me...even in a real store. I had some other Oboz models before and new they are a good fit. Very happy. Seem to be waterproof so far.

Second pair of these. First pair worn out after eighteen months of excellent performance. Comfortable and reliable shoes.

Mijn eerste paar Oboz heb ik een jaar of 5 geleden in Montana gekocht, kende het merk toen nog niet. Fabrikant beloofd een goed product geproduceerd te hebben en het is echt waar! Loopt/zit heerlijk, geeft stabiliteit en grip. Zijn slijt vast, gaan lang mee en blijven goed zitten. Zien is geloven, je zal er echt blij mee zijn.

I admit I would wear a shoe for comfort and capability and not for looks. I got enough bad comments on that, I do not care ... the health of my feet is a higher priority than the aesthetic pleasure of others. This shoe is my every day shoe for a year now, it is very comfortable and capable - I could go hike and I can walk any distance in the city without any discomfort ... so I really like it. The only reason it is 4 stars, is the shoelaces, that was a let-down from the beginning, I do not know why they put cheaper shoelaces on it that are too slippery ... I need to tie two knots all the time it is kind of frustrating. My old oboz never had this problem it had proper good shoelaces.

Transformed my walking! I have always purchased Oboz shoes For walking. Unfortunately my last pair were not my normal show model and it really messed up with my back and hips. Got those and within. 2 days I was back to my normal 15k steps a day with zero issues. Fantastic.
